CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
Perpetual Motion Dance presents Y20, an original concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City modern and aerial dance company. This concert will feature current and alumnae company members performing dramatic, gravity-defying dance creations that incorporate aerial silks, trapeze, and a new invented metal apparatus.
Choreography for Y20 was created by Artistic Director, Michelle Moeller and company members Amy Nevius, Kayla Jenkins, Caitlin Robinson, Emma Prilaman, Melanie Lambert, Katelyn Prewitt, and Summer Brandley. Additional company performers include Mari Rada, Stormi Luney, Felipe Ramirez, and Don Sellers. Guest alumnae choreographers include Rebecca Alca, Rebekah Barger, and Kim Kieffer. Guest alumnae performers include Rebecca Alca, Kim Kieffer, Leah Watson, Sarah Fugett, and Paige Fischer. Guest alumni video contributions were provided by Jessica Taylor, Zahira Mous, Leslie Jones, Ryne Swope, and Elizabeth Kerr.
Perpetual Motion Dance is honored to collaborate with the following community partners; Shear Balance Salon to create a cutting-edge aesthetic appearance from costuming to elaborate hair and makeup supporting each performer's character, video projection and promotion created by Lane Avenue Studios, photography and graphic design by Mike Esperanza, rigging support by Stephen Rohlman, and lighting design by Scott Hynes.
Perpetual Motion Dance, Oklahoma City’s only modern and aerial dance company, employs home grown professional dance artists who diligently work through the process of experimentation and rehearsal to create original works that draw the audience into new states of awareness. These concerts, funded in part by a matching grant from the Oklahoma Arts Council, and additionally by donors including The Kirkpatrick Family Fund and Mid America Arts Alliance, tour the state to bring this unique art form to a variety of settings including college, rural and urban audiences.
